Couple of contracting questions...
Hi Guys,
I'm new here, in fact I've just registered
So I was wondering if I may ask some more experienced contractors a couple of questions.
I work in IT, as I'm sure many of the guys here do, and am currently and always have been, a permanent employee.
I was offered a job in the USA, and I accepted.. however after 6 months of waiting, the visa has been refused and while the company still want me, if I can't legally live there I can't work, and so that's off the table now. Which has got me into thinking about what I want to do with my future. Which brings me here...
I'm considering doing some consulting, so that I can spend some time in Spain between contracts, where I have family.
Sorry for blabbing on, hopefully I've not bored you and I'll cut to the questions:
1.) If I were to sign a 6 or 12 month contract, on a daily rate and decided that 3-4 months into the contract that it either wasn't working out, or I needed to travel somewhere for some reason.. what is the general policy with cancelling a contract? Is it the same as a standard employment contract? And/or is it frowned upon to end contracts early, would it give me a bad name in the contracting world.
2.) IR35 - I've read a bit about this, but I'm pretty unclear as to what comes under this and whether it really costs so much. If a contract is only 3 to 6 months, would IR35 even come into play?
3.) I've seen SO many websites which calculate how much you need to charge per day to equate your salary to that of an annual salary in a permanent position. I've been reading that LTD company is the way forward, but would you say the extra tax / accountant effort and cost are really justified compared to what you would earn from an Umbrella Company?
I would like to thank you all in advance for your time to help me with these queries..
Thanks
